Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on 37.2ha. of land proposed for housing at Paston Reserve Development Area, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. Two ditches were revealed in two trenches together with at least two posthole alignments. One sherd of Roman Colour-Coated fabric and a Roman tile fragment were recovered from the ditches. Two fragments of 16th/17th century stone moulding were recovered from a posthole and may be associated with a nearby, destroyed manor house. A possible buried soil which may be connected to Car Dyke was revealed. Wood charcoal from the buried soil has been radiocarbon dated to the early Iron Age, but this is thought to derive from pre-bank activity, with the bank therefore of Roman or later date. No archaeology was present in the remaining trenches. |
